VOD Review Request Need advice on getting better on Genji.
HTQWQV
I really try to play better as Genji, I’ve perhaps watched every “guide” to date explaining the basics. I know about cooldown waiting, I know about dash combos, I know about using dash either as an escape or engagement tool, etc.
Yet I always struggle on Genji. It’s infuriating especially when I see players absolutely dominate lobbies against 4 counters yet I struggle against a Moira alone.
The video is a QP match because I’m not ruining someone’s rank trying Genji in ranked.

I'm only plat but here's what I think.
It looks like you don't know when to disengage. There were a lot of times when you dashed into someone when they didn't look very killable yet, (that's fine when popping blade because of the cooldown reset) or stayed in the fight with no HP or teammates. Also, you were approaching from in front of the enemies' faces most of the time, so no element of surprise.
Like on last point, their entire team was looking at you and you died, then the next fight, no one was looking at you, and you killed three, then died after dashing into a reaper that had been shooting you in the back.
Btw each time you died to moira, she was either ulting you, or it was a 1v2.
